The Luxury or Table Linen.

"All the uptown people have their
own ideas regarding their table linen, Z"
said well-known dealer recently TO a
New York reporter. " Nearly all the
foreign countries manufacture table
linen, and there Is some made in this
country, but there is marked differ
ence between the scotch Irish, Dresden,
German and French grades. The
difference is not only In texture, but in
pattern. The French cloth is most
fashionable. IL differs from the others
in being of much lighter texture and
more elaborate decoration. Almost all
the cloths have large centre-pieces.
1.-TWO favorite patterns are the Pom
pelian and the Pois Medina. The
center of the first is filled in with large
square blocks and the border surround
ing IL Is Of triangles. The second is
composed of medium-sized balls,
around which are twined myrtle leaves
Another much used pattern is the
Caprice, which has a perfectly plain
center and is surrounded by large
flowers. One of the most expensive
patterns is the Hirondelles. This linen
is most beautifully marked. The
border is design of rocks ont Of which
are growing cat-tails, while in the
center are small swallows The birds
are exquisitely wrought. The feathers
on their wings are SO true to nature as
to stand out in fluffy mass. The
cost of a set of these, including "A table
cloth and dozen napkins, reaches
800.
In some instances the linen Is EN-
broidered, and this increases the price
$l4 or SIS. A late craze is for cipher
monographs, and nearly all the linen
sent out is embroided that way. Some
of the larger families still stick TO
monographs, while others OF the elder
stock insist upon having their coat-of-
arms embroidered thereon. The best
French tablecloths and napkins are
nearly al woven at Sierre, in France.
The work is done entirely by hand.
The fax from which the linens are
woven come mostly from the neigh
bourhood OF Coutral in Flanders, where
a fine variety Is raised IL Is so long

FOR THE LADIES.


Says an Atlantic City letter: AS I
sat to-day In one Of the many comfort
able pavilions gratuitously provided
for visitors, looking at the thousand
different bathers--I noticed young
girl In bathing dress. with fancy,
grayish bathing Tam O'Shanter.
About every three and half seconds
she woaid 20 out into deep water and
bashfully reach down as II feeling the
bottom for shells. Her companion
was dudlsh young fellow. with the
promise of a light mustache. He did
not seem to comprehend the situation,
and seemed too modest 10 question his
girl. She, however, continued to stoop
down and apparently sound the bot
tom before going further out. The
young man gazed and the girl 0lushcd.
IL required little penetration TO dis
cover that the girl was sorely perplexed.
She looked down the coast. then up
the coast. She looked at the young
man, her escort, and then screwing mp
her courage, deliberately walked
ashore. The thievish breakers had
robbed her of both her circular elastic
appendages and her stockings threat
ened. In consequence, TO drop OF.
Here was dilemma No one Of the
bathers could supply the missing elias
tic, and there was no time to duly
daily before miles OF spectators. But
the girl was equal to the emergency.
AS her snnturnt face took on maiden
blush, she quietly aud modestly re-
moved both stockings, held them in
her hands, and then went into deep
water. Her escort looked scared, but
said nothing. AS she came out OF the
surf, after her bath had been complet-
ed. holding in her hands the pair of
black stockings, the spectators Deheld
pair of we.l-turnel ankles. limbs
shapely, as white as the blooming cot
ton. The next day the lady bathed
further up the coast, aud wore brand
new pair of pretty CLASHES, while her
bashful escort WAS conspicuous by his
absence. While occasionally female
bather may be seen who discards
stockings us unnecessary and unhand-
some articles of apparel, the absence
of foot covering never fails to create a
sensation, particularly when the bather
is of a trim, neat figure.

The children OF James wainwright at

chipmunk for pet Not long ago the
animal injured one Of its fore feet by
becoming entangled in strand of
thread The Inflammation of the foot
attracted the attention of Mr.. Vain
wright, who found that the thread was
wound around the member. He cut
the thread off, but the wound did not
heal, and in few days the flesh drop
ped of and left the bones exposed.
The little animal went TO work then
and did a most remarkable thing. He
bit of or amputated the foot at what
would correspond 10 the wrist joint. In
the course of few days the bone still
remained uncovered lecause no provi-
sion had been made for q flap of the
flesh TO cover IL. The chipmunk then
displayed a wonderful knowledge of
surgery. With his nose he turned
back the 1esh and bit of a piece of
the bone above the end Of the flesh SO
that II projected beyond the bone. In
two weeks IL had healed up and looks
as perfect as IL a surgeon had done

The strangers dark aching eyes
haunted her; she could not get them

It was not unnatural that such
thoughts should come TO Madeline.
Had it been some wretched tramp
who in an hour OF distress had
claimed her pity, she would rs will
ingly have gone on this errand; but
apart from his dependence upon her,
she felt separate ana deeper interest
in the stranger, whose voice was at
once so full OF gentleness and bitter
ness, and she knew he did not belong
20 the common order OF men.
She had walked more than q mile
across fields before she reached the
farm.
At the gate she paused, and looked
back at the mill with soft smile in
her eyes.

thought, repeating TO herself the
words she had uttered 10 him. "Poor

She hurried through the dairy into
the kitchen, and astonished the busy
cook by going over TO where the shin

long walk and the excitement OF the
moment. "Soupl That will do. j

her how much depended on her Sc

Martha noticed the change In the
girls manner, and smiled meaningly.
III know what Miss Madeline
